Talk:Granita

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Granita is not the same as italian ice. Granita is not always a dessert; it can be herb-flavored and used as a palate cleanser. Also, granita can also be much grittier and less smooth than italian ice. For example, many recipes on the food network website call for freezing flavored water in a 13x9 pan and scraping it with a fork multiple times. Putting the frozen mixture in a blender, like the italian ice article suggests, would make for a much slushier consistency. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Granita

I move this part (the disambigation) here for further use in a new article (maybe Granita (Restaurant) or Granita (London)).

Granita may refer to 
 
* Italian ice, a frozen dessert made by mixing flavorings (typically fruit juices) with ice. 
 
* The Granita Restaurant was a former London restaurant at 127 Upper Street where Tony Blair and Gordon Brown allegedly agreed the Blair-Brown deal.
 
 {{disambig}}

I will replace the current article by a description of the italian dessert.

[edit] Granita with Beer

I had written on this site a year or two ago that Sicilian teenagers mixed granita with beer, only to have another member delete it. I didn't revert because it was possible that I had been mistaken, but when I returned to Sicily this summer I was actually asked at a bar if I wanted lemon granita in my beer (I said yes, and it was a pretty good combo actually.) ^juppiter talk #c 06:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

See WP:NOR and WP:V -- we need sources! I've reverted your last edit for the same reason. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 14:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Argh! I should have taken a picture! When I go back to Sicily in 2008 I will take a picture of beer with granita in it.... and the 100% true edit I made way back in 2004 will finally be able to appear on Wikipedia! ^juppiter talk #c 16:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Your picture wouldn't be a source. Please go read Wikipedia:No Original Research, if you havent. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Definitely have better things to do than read all that rules crap.... If I can't write it I can't write it no big whoop, it's not that important ^juppiter talk #c 17:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
